Apple announced the immediate availability of Garageband for the iPhone 3G and later and third and fourth generation iPod touch. If you've already paid the $5 entrance fee to GarageBand for the iPad, the upgrade to app the app to your other iOS devices is free.

Uncompressed audio means musicians will actually be able to output music from GarageBand into professional music applications. I'm happy I'll be able to record my sweet guitar solos to my iPhone instead of lugging the iPad around. I can just mount my iPhone directly to my guitar strap. [App Store]
